All I can say is, if your urge is lie in the grass and gaze at the cerulean sky - DO IT! But your post seems to confirm that you know this already; it's time to rest, to listen to your body and your intuition, even if so often, our minds don't really like it. Our minds tell us to keep up the hustle, but the wisdom inside knows better. We just need to give space to the discomfort that arises when we follow it...
Thank you for commenting! I'm glad you can relate. I think it's helpful to normalize the doubts that creep in or times when we experience a "wobble." I'm trying to re-frame it as my nervous system learning new habits which take time to really master! It's all an experiment and just noticing how I feel when I try to hustle and how I feel when I rest has been a good starting place for me.
Also--yes! I'm a Cancer sun, mercury and mars! I definitely feel the pull of a lot of start/stop energy right now- my north node is also in Aries and Jupiter is in my 10th house so it's a very potent time! I'm excited to see what happens this week during the eclipse! :)
Interesting - the last few weeks have felt very intense and high emotions on a collective level for sure.
Also, I agree. It's easy to know exactly what we ourselves need, but then still doubt it and try to follow the 'shoulds'. I know that I need to completely prioritize my well-being first, and then work second, otherwise it really is too easy to fall into hustle or overworking mode. Not anymore!
I love this! I feel like when we stand up for our own well-being it's so powerful and gives people an alternate example to the mainstream hustle culture. Thanks for being a leader and showing people another way!
